Caption Competition, Week The Twenty-Fifth
Here we go, gang:
I don't know the "official" rules, but we'll say this contest runs until 3:00 PM EST on Tuesday, June 18th. (Don't want anyone that hoped to play to miss out on the fabulous grand prize 'cause you didn't know the contest was over...)

Woah… that's, uh…. quite a screen cap!! 
Super. I didn't even remember that particular shot of them… Or this happening….
John: Sherlock? …Sherlock! Move, I'll shoot her!
Sherlock: . . .
off-screen female voice: Ahh… too late for your friend! A shame he didn't believe the old tales, either… they always are frozen with such a look of surprise when they see me…. Medusa….!
John: . . . Ok… ok, maybe a li-ttle fantastical… Ha. Maybe a little more realistic tie-in? 
John: Sh… Sherlock? What….. is that?!
Sherlock: *mad laugh* It worked…. It Worked!! My experiment…. my Creature…. it's alive!!!!

Re: Caption Competition, Week The Twenty-Fifth
And it was when a halo appeared behind Sherlock's head that John realised there was something very special about him.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Sherlock: The reason why we're in space ...
John: No, I know.
Sherlock: What?
John: Brilliant disguise, Khan, but now I've got you.

Sherlock: *singing* "Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o, Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle..."
John: *to himself* "If I aim a little bit to the left, I'll get that bloody karaoke machine and maybe he'll stop. Who would have known a human being could produce such agony with nothing but his voice?"

"Cause this is thrillllaaaaah, Thriller at night, and no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike..."
John: "Stop singing."
And my second one, because I can't decide:
"It's ALIIIIIIIIIVE!!!"
(Planetarium scene, right?)

Re: Caption Competition, Week The Twenty-Fifth
Just about 5 more hours, gang.
I have laughed out loud at several of these. Choosing a winner will be difficult...

Re: Caption Competition, Week The Twenty-Fifth
Well, friends, the time has come. I have enjoyed all of your captions. Not a one of them was bad. Several were quite funny. Alas, we can only have one winner. So hard to choose. I loved nicbooful's direct, to-the-point caption. sj4iy had two great ones (and yes, this scene was from the planetarium). Davina's caption was quite sweet. Props to jenosborn for keeping with material from the series. Russell's second suggestion was just wonderful.
But I have to say my favorite was this:
Sherlock: *singing* "Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o, Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle..."
John: *to himself* "If I aim a little bit to the left, I'll get that bloody karaoke machine and maybe he'll stop. Who would have known a human being could produce such agony with nothing but his voice?"
Congratulations, Sparrow!
Now shut up and find us a new picture...

Re: Caption Competition, Week The Twenty-Fifth
Oh, I never thought that would win. Thanks. And I apologize for the lateness of my response. I will go and post another picture right away.
